Spilled water on my laptop, fixable?

If you get away with that, try buying a new video card, then switching your old one into the new box and returning it! I mean, we're dealing with big corporations here, so it's entirely OK to scam them! Once you've completed all those tasks, you can move on to embezzlement, and more!

That's cute but it's not pragmatic. In other words, he'd be crazy to listen to you.

Give it a week to dry. Maybe even unscrew the case to help it dry. Tell us if you have any luck with booting it...

Hmm, I'm having a hard time picking which demographic is more disturbing -- the people suggesting he commit fraud, or the people flaming the folks who suggest fraud is a bad idea. Or the one guy suggesting that fraud is the pragmatic approach. 🙂

Yeesh.

Maybe if you paid what the laptop was actually worth you wouldn't mind having to pay for it again after a mistake. I say screw whatever company it is and get it replaced. It was water. Let them try and prove it was water that killed it.

Here's your moral way out: Your computer was right at the point of dying. It was on a countdown getting ready to take a sh*t. About 21 seconds from its complete and utter failure, you spilled water on it. So what? It was going to die anyway. Its not your fault if what you did may or may not have killed it also.

I would feel much better to pay a 100 bucks to uniect then to pay 1500 to get a new notebook

i would have thought they would make notebooks water proof (off the keyboard anyway, not back). they expect and test for dropping the notebook but not water?
